Limiting membership access based on a preset number

#1

I have a requirement to limit access to a membership based on the number of times it has been accessed.

In other words, “Memberhip Level X” allows you to access this class up to 5 times. no more than that

Does anyone know of a way this is doable within S2Member?

Hi Ahmed.

It’s funny that you mention that, because it’s a feature I plan to build in a future add-on, although no one had asked for it until now. I’m adding your vote for it in my list.

Well, it’d be possible to hack this. You’d need to create a counter, and add to it every time the page is loaded. So you’d need a hook around the time the user’s access is checked, get the level’s limit, add to the user’s counter, check if it’s within the uses limit, and prevent access if not.

Thanks for getting back to me. I definitely think it would be a very useful feature and would have a lot of possible applications.

The coding you mentioned sounds pretty straightforward but I’m not even sure where to start. Any suggestions? Otherwise I will just have to wait.

I see. Yeah, it is, if you already know PHP and WordPress development. If you get a developer, those tips should help him.

But like I said, I plan to look into this myself eventually, and I have a renewed interest in it after your comments here.

Thanks for the input! :slight_smile:
